AIR COMPRESSOR
MAINTeNANCe
draining the air tank
The frequency at which you should drain the air tank and air dryer
depends on the environmental conditions and the amount of
operating time logged. daily draining is recommended to not
damage the air compressor motor, dryer, tank and components.
1.
Provide a rubber or plastic tube and container capable of holding
water.
2.
Without compressed air in the air tank, attach a tube or have a
container available. Slowly turn the drain valve knob. The water
in the air tank will drain out.
3.
After all of the accumulated water has drained out, turn the drain
valve knob until it is tight, in order to avoid leakage.
draining the air dryer
1.
Attach one end of a tube to the Condensate Valve. Attach the
other end of the tube to a container capable of holding water.
This tube will let the water from the air dryer drain.
2.
Remove waste container and empty.
changing the air filter
The air filter is designed to reduce noise and help prevent
particulates in the air from entering and damaging the air
compressor.
After being used for a period of time, the air filter will become
clogged. This will reduce the air intake capabilities of the air
compressor, reducing performance. Therefore, the air filter must be
replaced regularly.
1.
Open the lid on the air filter, then remove the old filter.
2.
Replace it with a new filter, then close the lid.
testing for leaks
Make sure all connections are tight. do not overtighten.
A small leak in any hose or pipe connection will reduce the air
compressor's performance.
To test for small leaks, spray a small amount of soapy water on the
area suspected of leaking. If the soap bubbles, replace the broken
part.
cleaning
Clean items with a soft brush, or wipe with a moistened cloth using
a biodegradable solvent.
do not use flammable liquids such as gasoline or alcohol. Always
keep parts clean from dirt and dust for better performance.
air drying column - desiccant
After 4000 hours of use the Activated Alumina desiccant needs to
be replaced.
unscrew the air drying column bottom cap.
Remove the old desiccant (disguard) and add new desiccant.
STORAge
before storing for a prolonged period of time:
1.
Turn off the power supply.
2.
disconnect the power cord from the power supply.
3.
Pull the relief valve and release all the pressure from the air tank.
4.
Clean the air compressor to remove all dirt and dust.
5.
Cover the air compressor with a cover to protect the unit from
dust and moisture.
6.
do not stack or store any items on top of or around the air
compressor. damage could occur.
